In Iceland, the territory and population is small enough that stuff that effects the "country" is more on par with something very localized in the US.

The red state / blue state shit we have to deal with I think has a lot to do with the size of our country and the remoteness between people who are equals in the decision-making processes in our Federal government. It's an additional burden we need to overcome when we need to make changes that effect the whole country.
